Rising knockout artist Francis Ngannou is gearing for the biggest fight of his career. Now it would appear that the UFC heavyweight physically dropped his coach during a recent striking drill at practice for the event.
Ngannou earned a shot at the UFC heavyweight title with a stunning knockout victory over former K-1 champion Alistair Overeem. Now Ngannou is set to face off against reigning title holder Stipe Miocic at UFC 220.
With the highly anticipated mixed martial arts event just around the corner, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has decided to reveal the latest edition of UFC 220 Embedded: Vlog Series.
During the episode, Francis Ngannou decided to work on his striking in a drill with his coach. However, it would appear that Ngannou may have hit the coach a little too hard on one occasion, as the coach dropped to the floor after being struck with a hard knee to the body.
